Nope, sadly not - the problem is &stderr returning a function pointer then, not the address of the symbol directly.
Ugh, yep. Damn us for not correctly implementing @property.
Would be the same problem with a template as well.
Was going to post about this on Rainer's PR to fix this issue, but as it turns out, none of this matters -- on Windows, stderr is a constant, and in fact the return value from a function.
So &stderr isn't valid, and the fact that it currently works is not actually correct. In fact, in D currently you can set stderr to something else, and it won't apply to the C side, which is really bad.
And as a template function, &stderr is a compiler error anyway.
